  1. there was the END864,no turbo. The ENDT864,twin turbo's,both of these were Thermodynes, then came the ENDT865 turbo'd Maxidyne and then the ENDT866 Thermodyne.
  2. Dan Thomas just finished restoring a single axle R719,and as far as I know,it's the only restored one around. I have a '68 R719ST spec'd like yours with the heavy rears,but the V8 was replaced with a 237 Maxidyne. I have a twin turbo 864 to put back in it someday.If you do decided to take yours out,don't throw anything away,I might need some pieces,but if I were you,I'd leave it in and fix it.
  3. There were 262 R719's built.Not many have survived with the twin turbo 864 still intact.
  4. Just found out today that the 2017 ATHS national show will be in Des Moines at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Can't wait.
  5. did the older Neway have that set up. It's definitely not a Western air ride(later to become Freightliner's Air liner suspension).Those had the smaller double bags. What other was available back then?
  6. the "new" V8's are 998 cid and the old ones are 864 cid
  7. I'm guessing from the color it was probably built for the air force. I bought some 5 hole Alcoa awhile back the came off a ex USAF GMC and they were painted too. The paint really kept the aluminum under it nice.
  8. If they say your truck is too old,they have absolutely no business working for a Mack dealer.
  9. There is a really nice FL711LST on Ebay. Non sleeper cab,673C with a 15 speed Fuller,5 hole Alcoas. Looks really straight,in NM. hopefully someone can put a link to it.
  10. if it's something you don't want.let me know.
  11. you are in luck,found his card. 800-262-5030
  12. search Vander Haag's Truck parts ,Des Moines,Iowa, ask for TJ.He'll answer all your Detroit jake questions.
  13. wish they could find another Zenon CR Hansen.
  14. I've had grief with my '47 EF since the day I bought it. Does yours have the SF3 Stromberg carb.? I'm about ready to find a little diesel of some kind to repower mine. Not having much better luck with my old Brockway,either,it has a bigger Continental,with down draft carb.It will at least start and run good enough to parade,but runs like shit over 10 mph.
  15. Somebody told me this was broadcast on the History Channel,anybody know if it's going to be replayed?
  16. Yeah,the one I just got. Didn't the pic post?
  17. Wasn't that auction in Neb.? The Chevy dealer that never sold trade ins?
